Have you tried an earlier version of LW? You could try Lime Wire » Download Out-Of-Date Installers 4.12 at least for time being. As I was saying in my previous post, I have same problem as you. I am trying to figure the problem out. I am guessing it is java related.

Personally I'm using 4.16 at present.

One problem with the older versions (older than 4.14) is they will not be able to download from any version newer than 4.17.4. But that's just a small sacrifice for now.

I have had Limewire for quite some time and now I am getting a firewall block. I have looked at all config. and Limewire is on the exception list on both windows firewall and PCillun virus program. I have even turned off all firewalls to see if that worked and it did not. I am at a loss...I have COMPLETELY deleted all limewire files (hidden also), re-downloaded, called DELL and local ISP. They offer no help and said it was a Limewire issue. I do not have Mcafee and modem is working correctly. ANY HELP?

Try a combination of these tips If LW Will Not Connect (click on the blue link). Often it's the gnutella.net file, but other options might also help.

Thank you! Got it to work, finally. I have a inspiron 1525, desktop, and took it to another location and Limewire worked perfectly. I brought the computer home called my ISP again and downloaded updates for my modem! Once again I appreciate your help! This was a nightmare....

Windows:
C:/Documents And Settings/your_username/.limewire

Linux:
~/.limewire

Please shutdown any instance of LimeWire you may have running, delete the whole directory, and then restart LimeWire. You should be able to connect.

I'd love to hear how this works for everyone.

Thanks!
